To alt 'whom t may concern;

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J noon KUIINs, of the city of Brooklyn,Kings county, State of New York, have invented a new and Iniproved Framefor Printing Porcelain or Glass Pictures; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full and exact description thereof', reference beinghad to the accompanying photograph, and to the letters ot' referencemarked thereon. t

The nature ot' my invention consists of a slot, A, on the side ot' theframe to admit the projection A on the end of the small part of the lidto tit in, so that when pressed on the negative will be kept tirm in itsplace, and thus the lid B may be raised for the purpose of examining theprint and closed again, with both negative and impression in the exactsame position.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I willnow proceed to describe the mode of using it.

Place the negative in the frame, fasten down 1 the small end oi'l thelid with the spring or setserew, place the prepared porcelain or glassupon the negative in the proper position, put on the back of theporcelain or glass a small quantity of wax or wax and rosin meltedtogether, press down the large part of the lid to which the porcelain orglass will adhere, and when the lid is raised for the purpose ofcxamining the progress ofthe printing` the porcelain or glass willadhere to it and be heid in the proper position for again covering thenegative, when closed, in the exact position from whence it was taken.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

rIhe slots A A on the side of the frame, admitting the projections A Aon the end ot' the small partof the lid, and by which the negative issecurely retained in a permanent position.
